01/31/2008: "“We Care” Packages For Troops"

Volunteers from the Friday Harbor American Legion will be collecting at Market Place again on Saturday, Feb. 2, 2008 to fill Valentine boxes for the troops in Afghanistan and Iraq.

The photo is of Jonathan Turner, one of the troops that receives care packages. Jonathan is home on leave. He is a FHHS graduate, and is staying with John and Sharon Boyd, his Aunt and Uncle. He will be stopping by the Legion on Friday evening to meet the people responsible for sending him the care packages while he served in Iraq.

As always if you can help by baking a batch of cookies – our troops really appreciate homemade cookies – Capt. Megan Shafer said, “Even if we have to eat them with a spoon when they get here, we love ‘em”. PFC Tom Bauschke and Airman Dwight Ware have both particularly requested cookies.

Valentine's day is coming up: Let’s send them some good Valentine cookies!!
